DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• External Or Internal Flow Meter Verification – An Independent Review

  To increase the reliability of field devices, some manufacturers equip instruments with internal verification functions based on integrated hardware components. Procedures for the internal testing of devices are not new to the market, but rather a standard feature – at least for MID (European Measuring Instrument Directive) devices. This article looks at the advantages and disadvantages of advanced integrated verification functions for electromagnetic (MAG) flow meters with advanced integrated verification functions compared to external verification.

• Key Indicators Of Tube Settler Strength: Module Design And Construction

  There is a common misconception about tube settlers that thicker material, whether it’s thermoformed or extruded, yields a stronger, more structurally capable module. On the surface, this seems like a reasonable assumption. However, when we look at the details of module design and construction, we see that this is not always true.

• Transient And Surge Related Pipe Bursts, Water Loss And Damage Prevention

  Pipe bursts as a result of transients and surges within a piping network are very common problems throughout the world. Not only are the maintenance costs of these repairs extremely expensive, but when you add in possible litigation for third party damages, combined with the potentially significant value (cost) of the lost water, you can quickly realize the significance of what may appear simply as “another pipe burst”. By Brad Clarke, Singer Valve Inc.

• Using AI To Reduce Water Loss And Enhance Pipe Reliability

  AI models give utility managers actionable insights into the health of their pipe networks, enabling a shift from reactive to predictive maintenance.

• Insta-Valve 250 Helps Keep The Water On For Residents During COVID-19 Pandemic

  The Insta-Valve 250 provided targeted shutdown without impacting service to customers.

• Fort Benning Brings In The Big Guns: AMERICAN Zinc And American-Darling

  Columbus Water Works (CWW) provides drinking water and wastewater services to more than 250,000 residents in the Columbus, GA, area. In 2004, Fort Benning and Columbus Water Works signed an agreement that said CWW would provide water and wastewater services for the military base for 50 years, requiring a connection of the two systems and several large upgrades.

• Mountain Resort City Reduces Water Loss By 10 Percent By Deploying Intelligent Leak Detection And Pressure Monitoring Solution

  Park City turned to Xylem to deploy their intelligent sensor hardware and monitoring solutions as part of a condition assessment program and to reduce non-revenue water.

• Degas Separator Selected For Wichita Aquifer Storage And Recovery Project

  In the 1990s, the City of Wichita, KS, developed a water supply plan that included creating a sustainable water supply through the year 2050. The key component of the plan is recharging the large aquifer that lies under the region with 100 MGD of water from the Little Arkansas River.

• City Of Auburndale Leading The Way With Smart Water Technologies

  Located in central Florida, the City of Auburndale is a thriving and steadily growing community that boasts great spaces to live, work and play. With more than a dozen lakes and ponds within its borders, a crucial component of the city’s appeal can be found in its abundance of water. In 2016, the Public Utilities Department saw a need to upgrade aging infrastructure across its water system. The city’s water meters and endpoints had provided many years of reliable service, and it was an opportune time to investigate how more advanced technology could benefit the utility and its customers.

• How WWTPs Can Get Greener Grass On The Other Side Of The IIoT

  The next big thing is here and it’s the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). To understand how the IIoT applies to a wastewater treatment plant, look no further than your front yard.
